Amir Khan has dropped his dad as part of his overhaul of his management team. The move from the boxer comes as he aims to keep his boxing and family separate for the sake of his career and his marriage.

Shah has been with Khan throughout his amateur and professional career. And he famously wore a Union Jack waistcoat at the 2004 Athens Olympics, during his stint as Amir's manager.

But he criticised Khan's wife Faryal in the bitter and very public row between her and his family. And the former world champion - who has family ties to Birmingham - felt he needed to take a step back.

Khan's uncle Tahir Khan and pal Saj Mohamed, who was best man at his wedding, have also gone, and the star admits the feuding has hurt him deeply.

Earlier this month, Khan appeared in his first TV interview since the boxer's alleged 'sex tape' was leaked.

The former world champion appeared, speaking to Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning, via a live link from San Francisco, in the US.

The clip, which has reportedly surfaced on a major US porn website, allegedly shows the former world champion boxer chatting with a female model on Skype.
